I haven't studied the patch in detail, yet, but I have a 
few comments on the style:

- there is no need to quote all authors of the RFC. Also,
  the reference to long-ago expired HTTP draft should go;
  just replace it with a single reference to the RFC
  number (giving an URL for the RFC might be convenient)
- Where is the documentation? A patch to 
Doc/lib/libbasehttp.tex would be appreciated. If you don't 
speak TeX, don't worry: Just write plain text, we'll do 
the mark-up.
